I've a string of bytes, represented as a String, most significant byte
first, and I want to convert it to an Integer (actually, they will
usually be big enough that they will end up as a Bignum).
I thought String#unpack, but it won't deal with anything larger than 4
or 8 bytes, it seems.
I don't think String#to_i will do it either.
I've written such a method myself, but I'd like to not duplicate the std
lib is possible!
Cheers,
Sam
